Here's mine. As usual, I didn't know this one before. I wasn't going to post, but I listened to it today and I didn't hate it as much as I did last nite. And hopefully I'll continue with it during the month and improve.
Oh, that was better, sounds more thought-out. Familiarity with the tune helps, of course. No one's that good the first time. The blues sounds were good, suits the tune, I think.
Out of curiosity, what were the Garrison Fewell tips you were using, roughly? Not that I want to copy them or anything but for interest's sake.
It's one of the study threads in the Improvisation forum. It's to do with triads w/extensions to create lines. It's something I've been interested in for awhile now, but never found anything I seemed to "get". His book "A Melodic Approach" looked good and has really made sense to me so far.

It cost a lot more...
I'm learning this Mammal Hands tune but I keep getting tripped up when the drums start the fast beat at the 2:50 mark.
I was quite happy feeling everything in 6 until that starts, what exactly is...
Yes, I had my 175 pleked. It came out pretty good.
But about a month earlier I had a 335 type guitar fret dressed by a skilled tech and it was just as good.
And I even think the set up (not...
The best thing about Julian Lage’s playing and music is that it is uniquely his. He pulls from a lot of different deep wells. Bluegrass(Tony Rice, Doc Watson), blues(the 3Kings,Robert Cray), jazz...
